Well, there continues to be a steady stream of wonderful pics on this thread.

Logan Cale your work is quite stunning; I can see why you have your own gallery.

As for me:

I am heading off Sunday morning to set my daughter up at med-school in Philadelphia; from there I am going to take a drive down the eastern seaboard,
then cut across Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. until I make my way back to NorCal (I'll wave to ya' as I make the turn Enron).

I should be gone about 6 weeks...

My family bought me a Sony CyberShot H2 for my birthday, so I'll try to take lots of shots along the way. Hopefully, some will be worth
posting...

My wife and youngest daughter are in Peru for a few weeks, so I am sure they will also bring back some interesting pics, which I will post.

Things are going to be kind of hectic between now and Sunday so I probably won't post again until I get back.

I wish all of you a GREAT Summer.

Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise...I'll "talk" with ya'all again in a couple of months.

A couple of weeks ago we went camping on the South Shore of N.S. and went for hike on the Kejimkujik Sea Side Adjunct trail. It was foggy and then
sunny which made for some nice photos.

That's a 10 inch lobster claw I found as is. A sea gull had a nice lunch.

Those little dots on the rocks out there are seals.

These next 2 pics are from a beach in the same area. It's a real shame that the water is too cold for swimming. We had wetsuits but they only cover
the torso and this water is so cold it pains you to the bone lololol! Seriously...

That shot of your Navaho friend Indy is excellent! I can look at this photo an immediately get a sense of his jovial/devoted personality....Awesome
job!

Libra - Love the way you incorporated the fog into your first few lansdscapes...And the ones following the foggy shots have some great tonal variety
and depth - The sharp contrasts between the crystal clear water and the age-old rocks made for some great subject-matter...

I decided to take one last photo so I turned off my car’s headlamps and tried to hold the camera steady for the long shutter - I wasn’t
using a tripod, bipod, or monopod. For two seconds I remained motionless even though I wasn’t taking this last photograph too seriously. The result
was not only a complete surprise but also the only good photograph I took that night. Maybe, one day I can take an intentional photograph that
is also a good photograph.

I'm going to reserve comment on exactly what percentage of my work was by accident

You're right though - It creates some of our best work....And that's an extradorinarly powerful image you have here...

Throw out your convictions of what should be considered the proper standards of taking a "serious photograph" and what's the result? A serious
photograph.....

Your handheld two second exposure speaks more words in its silence than any book can teach you on aperture or white balance....

Excellent work! Thanks for sharing

Well - That's a tough act to follow, and I'm not even going to try

Here's a critter photo for you though instar ;-)

This gal is monster size x 2....And she's calling my storage shed home - Very kind and gentle beast though - She tolerated my lens being six inches
from her fangs and my flash strobes without a fuss!

I suppose it may have something to with me having blinded all 9 of her eyes!

One of my favorite parts of summer is the annual return of these incredible banana spiders - They're like pets! And each year it almost seems as
though they get larger and larger....It's a shame they have such a short life-span....
